Well no, Khrushchev and Brezhnev drove the wedge between USSR & PRC. Nixon just exploited it.
-
Stalin created the wedge as much as anyone, Mao hated him for not giving full support in Korea.
-
Stalin forced China closer to USSR by having N Korea attack, precipitating US involvement.
-
Stalin made China think that the communists would have full Soviet support but it didn't happen
-
Of course because Stalin's goal was to have China fight USA while USSR stood aside.
-
that was his plan from the start. MacArthur's disregard for the Chinese was a gift to him.
